This paper aims to evaluate the producers’ capacity of payment for bulk waterin the public irrigation districts at Jaguaribe basin as well as for group of producers ineach irrigation district, which carries out agriculture and cattle raising as main farmactivities. This study also aims to give support to the State actions concerning buildinga matrix of bulk water tariff for this basin. The study area is the Jaguaribe basin in theState of Ceará. The data were of primary source, which were gathered by the applicationof 76 questionnaires. The method used to calculate the capacity of payment is basedon the residual approach. The results showed that the producers’ total capacity ofpayment was R$ 46.57 by 1,000 m3. The Icó-Lima Campos irrigation district showedthe lowest capacity of payment for bulk water, among the districts investigated. TheJaguaribe-Apodi irrigation district (DIJA) had the largest capacity of payment amongall, in which fruit is the main product. The subset of fruit producers showed highercapacity of payment (R$ 103.67/1000m3), overcoming, in almost three times, the subsetof grain and cattle producers (R$ 34.50/1000m3) as well as the grain producers alone (R$37.47/1000m3). Some producers showed net return covering the current tariff chargedby COGERH, while others did not have enough capacity of payment for bulk water.
